This is what I picked today.....
a miserable handful of beans and 3 capsicum
and .......
all of these tomatoes.
And that's only half of what is still out there on the dying vines. Must be around 5kilos worth. however much they weigh see that bowl in the right of the pick? It was filled 3 times and it's my largest mixing bowl, the 1 I use to make xmas pudding in.
They have all been washed in plain water - to get any dirt and bugs off them. Now what do I do with them?
I have heard you can leave the green ones in the dark somewhere and they will ripen, just have to watch the moisture in the air and check for rot.
I have also heard you can make a green tomato relish. Any suggestions?
Oh, did I tell you I also harvested a heap of potatoes? I got a bag full - that's a 30cm cube bag full...
That should keep us going for a while. They range in size from marbles up to 1.5 fists. I may see if the little ones will keep over winter and replant them in spring for next seasons crop.
